They return home where Elder Kettle tells them that he met Ms. Chalice and that the boys are grounded.

Trivia
- Miss Cyclops who appears in the prison in this episode bears a resemblance to the Cyclops that appeared in Rugged Ridge and may be based off him; however, the Rugged Ridge cyclops is much larger than his counterpart is, and she wears a prison outfit primarily due to the fact that she is in jail while he tends to go naked.
- Mugman has made about 43 markings on the wall, which could mean he and Cuphead have been in jail for over a month. Yet again, he has most likely written this much due to his downhearted state. Additionally, it is mentioned in the last episode of the season that a month has indeed passed (since the first episode) but after they're out of jail, making the latter argument more accurate, and confirming that they have been in jail for at least a few days.
